or decrease of foreigner inflows in the recent years (source: SOPEMI/OECD + own
calculations).
- Average increase of foreigners inflow (per 1000 inhabitants): Based on the inflow figures
per 1000 inhabitants between 1996 and 2002, the regression slope was calculated and used
as an indicator for the average increase of the inflow of foreign people per 1000
inhabitants (source: SOPEMI/OECD + own calculations).
- Average increase of foreign workers inflow (in thousands): Based on the inflow of foreign
workers figures between 1996 and 2002, the regression slope was calculated and used as
an indicator for the average increase of the inflow of foreign workers (source:
SOPEMI/OECD + own calculations).
- Average increase of foreign workers inflow (per 1000 inhabitants): Based on the inflow
figures per 1000 inhabitants between 1996 and 2002, the regression slope was calculated
and used for the average increase of the inflow of foreign workers per 1000 inhabitants
(source: SOPEMI/OECD + own calculations).
- Average increase in the percentage of inflow of foreigners coming from former colonies:
Based on the percentage of the inflow of foreigners coming from former colonies between
1996 and 2002, the regression slope was calculated and is used to indicate the increase or
decrease in immigrants coming from former colonies (source: SOPEMI/OECD + own
calculations).
- Average increase in the percentage of inflow of foreigners coming from the same
language area: Based on the percentage of the inflow of foreigners coming from the same
language area between 1996 and 2002, the regression slope was calculated and used to
indicate the increase or decrease in immigrants coming from the same language area
(source: SOPEMI/OECD + own calculations).
- Asylum requests in 2002 (in thousands): Number of asylum requests in 2002 (source:
UNHCR).
- Asylums granted in 2002 (in thousands): Number of asylums granted in 2002 (source:
UNHCR).
- Asylums granted in 2002 (per 1000 inhabitants): The number of granted asylums in 2002
expressed as the ratio with the total population (source: UNHCR + own calculations).
- Average increase of granted asylums (in thousands): Based on the figures of granted
asylums between 1996 and 2002, the regression slope was calculated for this variable
(source: UNHCR + own calculations).
- Average increase of granted asylums (per 1000 inhabitants): Based on the figures of
granted asylums between 1996 and 2002 expressed as the ratio with the total population,
the regression slope was calculated for this variable (source: UNHCR + own calculations).
- Naturalizations in 2002: The figures of naturalizations in 2002 (source: OECD).
- Naturalization ratio: The ratio of the naturalizations in 2002 and the inflow of foreign
population in 1995. A time-series analysis revealed that a time lag of seven years works
very well to explain the naturalization figures (source: SOPEMI/OECD + own
calculations).
- Asylum ratio: The ratio of the requested and granted asylums in 2002 (source: UNHCR +
own calculations).
